[arch-general] makepkg as root

I just noticed that `makepkg` no longer accepts '--asroot', does that
mean there now is no way to convince `makepkg` to build despite being
run as root?

/M

P.S.  I am fully aware of the problems with building as root, but as I'm
only building packages I'm myself creating, and doing it in a docker
image, I feel I can live with the dangers... especially when it saves
me some work in setting up docker images.
